  The University of British Columbia, Teaching and Learning with Technology Workshop
  This session will review the opportunities and initiatives resulting from the emergence of open source, free culture, open access and open educational resources. Discussion will focus on how weblogs support knowledge reviews and foster communities, how wikis can be used to build knowledge resources while providing a platform for authentic learning experiences, and how open access research is equipping students for life-long learning even as they build expectations of a "right to know." Special emphasis will be placed on describing the opportunities represented by prominent open education projects, and the challenges to developing an open educational culture.
